I bought a granite bathroom vanity top around 3 months ago; I've never had granite before and the store didn't tell me it had to be sealed.  I called to tell them that the granite showed water marks and streaks and they said--you have to seal it.  I did so...and the marks are still there.  I have tried drying the top with cotton fabric/toilet paper/paper towels, and when it dries it still has those marks.  What to do?  THanks.

What granite is it? You need to remove the stains and then seal it.
Can you provide pictures?

Dear Mark,  I am trying to get someone who is a good enough photographer to capture the marks and streaks on the vanity top.    If I can't do this, is there something you can suggest to get rid of the streaks etc. before re-sealing?  Oh, the granite is blue pearl.  Many thanks!

Do you mean DiaGlo? That is a polishing compound.

The streaks may be an etching and DiaGlo will only remove that if it is very minor. Can you provide pics?
